I'm SOOOOOOO TIRED!!!!



well... not everything went out as planned... I for one was about 30 mins late.



The day was pretty harsh for everyone... the heat, the traffic etc.. etc.. we didn't even start until mid afternoon!!



As soon as we pull in...



1. Toy's car was already strapped and waiting... made a couple of passes in his Cwest fitted GT35/40 powered FD... Since Toy just installed his 3 bar map sensor everything needed to be remapped on his power fc... after a couple of runs and swapping of plugs, the FD ran very very smooth according to Toy... some street drivability tuning was an option, but time wasn't in our favor... about 1.5 hour dyno



2. Next up.. ME...



Had some idle problems and boost issues... my HDR MBC, would not hold boost correctly... it was either in the area of 8 lbs or way over 14 lbs... so we left it at 8lbs until i get an electronic BC... best run was 280RWHP @ 8lbs... too bad I couldn't get more info.. i forgot what my torque was since the printer didn't work for the dyno... oh well.. in any case.. i'm very please with Steve's tuning... got A LOT of bugs out... runs very smooth on the street... i'm going to miss the back firing.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png about 1hr dyno time



3. Tom S... dyno tuned his red FD running his twins... but i wasn't there for it.. i was too hungry... he can post his numbers if he wants.. i think @ 1.5 dyno



4. Tom and his black FD running haltech the the last to get onto the dyno... after over an hour of dynoing we where forced to leave... right in the middle of Tom's session...





well.. i'm a little upset that we couldn't get everyone on the dyno and get tuned... everyone went through hell to get there and had the patiences to wait... withstand the heat, the traffic etc...etc..



we had a couple more cars left...

sorry if i forgot your names...

Keith's FD

Silver FD

RX-3

finish Tom's FD



all in all.. we ending up leaving at around 9pm with only 4 cars done...



Hopefully, we can finish the rest of the guys on saturday's session... I know tom may see steve today and do some street tuning...



well.. i have pics but not uploaded yet... i'm at work.. i'm beat.. that was a very long drive and my one arm is hurting from sun burn... now i have to clarify tomorrow's session...



well.. thanks for everyone that made it and very sorry to the people that couldn't get time in...



next... saturday session...

BTW.. for people that are tuning on saturday...



BRING EXTRA PLUGS!!! that seemed to be an issue yesterday...



thanks to keith for lending his plugs out...

Sounded like fun. Any pics?

glad to hear you got some cars done, atleast there is today and saturday steve can tune cars

i got home at 4:45 this morning and still going...i'll be back down again for rotorfest and also because Steve wants to do a little street driveability tuning then.

although i lost a couple of horsies, the car still feels just as fast, mainly because of how smooth it operates now. yesterday wasn't exactly the most ideal day to play the hp numbers game anyway...most importantly though is that i left there with a little peace of mind. give me some sleep and a few days to recover and i'll say it's all well worth it. just can't do it right now.

thanks to everyone there yesterday for helping me out and keith for those plugs.

wow , what a day for everyone! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png i was not able to get done, nor will i because i ahev to much to do in my personal life. glad everyone that got to go was happy. that always makes me happy. i may not come off like that over the net, but i always try to put other people before myself with everything in my life. it makes me happy to make others happy.

i do get agrivated and pissed off though. one thing that bothered me about the day was the way a person (no names) was very *stand-off-ish* as the day went on. it was obvious to me that the person wanted to leave but *couldnt* and seemed very pissed off/agrivated. i took personal offence to this as i did EVERYTHING in my power to make the day go as smooth as possible. BUT... it didnt. sorry. it just seemed like you had a problem with me for some reason. jsut so you are aware...

there is nothing i can do about the late start, nothing i can do about other people not having their cars in proper working order prior to tuning, nothing i can do about how bad maps were in their car to begin with, nothing i can do if a car that never is driven for more than a 1/4 mile at a time needs to pull over for gas, nothing i can do about the extreme heat, nothing i can do about the late start, nothing i can do about *believing* someone that the directions i was given was a "shortcut" turning out to NOT be one AT ALL! (BTW, it took me about 40 minutes to get home driving about 55 MPH the whole way home, the way that i KNOW), nothing i can do about time, nothing i can do about a half hour dead stop traffic jam for construction, nothing i can do about being at someones HOME doing wide open throtle pulls and them wanting us to wrap it up for the day.

BUT what i did do was

1. provide a dyno that ended up costing only $300 for the day. (remember i had it booked from around 11am.... not from the 3ish PM that we got there)

2. go out of my way to pick up C16 for everyone (30 minutes each way and money out of MY pocket)

3. remeber to bring extra plugs (you look up the price on 11's) and a sarkplug cleaner tool

4. did not cry about going first and let others go...

5. brought man power that helped work on other people's cars KNOWING full well that there was no chance in hell they would get a turn.





i am not going to go on and on, just letting this person know that there WERE plans made ahead of time, and i tried my best. you told me that "you liked what i hear" when discussing the event in the planning stages, but seemed VERY agrivated durring the day. SOOOO.... i would just like to appologize for anything that i PERSONALY could have prevented that may have put you in a better *mood*...

maybe my perception of you was wrong, but i know a few other people that got the same vibes.



on a lighter subject. Steve is a great guy and seems to know what he is doing!! i just wish we had more time and there was no pressure on him to be done at a certain time. i cant imagine the pressure he was under. he didnt even show it. i REALY wish at least one of the cars i have set up a haltech in could have gotten done. Tom actualy popped his motor the day after (on friday) so i highly doubt he will be finishing his tuning session.

we will have to talk in the near future about doing another trip up. we definatly have enough cars in the area to make the 5 car minimum, and this time, maybe i can pick you up at the philladelphia international adn you can stay with me. from our short sparatic discussions, we should be able to do more cars quicker on the street....



thursday was definatly a good experience overall for me and i am glad everythign worked out for the other 3 guys. tom is another story.... and i highly doubt it is steve's fault at all. i have been in the car with that kid when he took the map i had set up in there up to 150+MPH and motor (and myself have) lived to talk about it. he probobly did another *TOM* move like crank the boost up to 20psi adn think its fine.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



Steve it was realy nice to meet you, and as for all the other guys i met for the first time, it was a pleasure to spend a hot sticky sweaty day with you all! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



if this message doesnt make any sence, it is 4am after a Dead Show. going back tomorrow for day 2.... so sorry.

Who are the Dead? and why are they following me?! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif LMAO!!!

atleast everyone is alive! i didn't even get to go but i would like to say good job to keith and everyone else who tried to make it work. all i can say is **** HAPPENS make the best of it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
